update add-in without restart of EA

[Pawel Jasinski]

hi,

I just wonder if there is a way to update add-in from VisualStudio without having to stop/start EA?
If I try to simply rebuild it in VS (F6), I get:

----------------------
Unable to copy file "obj\Debug\CSAddinDemo.dll" to "bin\Debug\CSAddinDemo.dll".
The process cannot access the file 'bin\Debug\CSAddinDemo.dll' because it is being used by another process.      
------------------

Cheers,
Pawel

No, there isn't. The dll is open by EA so can't be modified.

Pawel,

I've written a blog post about that which might be helpful

hi Geert,

I have put something similar based on Command Line application. What you made is definitely better when GUI is in focus.

Thanks
